The flat fee for this review is $500 for CMS members, and it includes the review of your contract and up to a one hour discussion with you to provide you with advice and suggestions regarding the contract’s terms. CMS has also arranged for a discounted rate of $220 per hour for you to engage Mr. Perez’ services for other or more extensive involvement (such as assistance with contract negotiations, or for an extensive re-write of contract terms) after the flat fee initial contract review. This pricing allows Kevin to perform all of the work within the initial flat fee period personally, and then give the physician the option of a team approach with an associate attorney’s assistance afterward to help contain costs.

Physician-Hospital Employment Contract Handbook and Checklist

Additionally, CMS and Kevin Perez have developed the Physician-Hospital Employment Contract Handbook and Checklist to serve as resources for member physicians who wish to review and evaluate the terms of their current or proposed employment contracts with hospitals. The goal is help familiarize you with key provisions of typical hospital employment contracts to allow you to engage in an informed discussion with your employer or prospective employer.

Kevin’s legal career began at Kennedy Childs over 17 years ago, and he has been practicing in the areas of employment and business litigation ever since. He has served as the firm’s corporate employment counsel since the creation of the position, and was appointed as special counsel to the Board of Directors for Denver Public Schools for employment matters in 2010.

The focus of his practice is providing advice and counsel regarding employment, contract and compliance issues to individual professionals and businesses of all sizes. Additionally, he maintains a trial practice representing professionals, businesses and governmental entities in litigation involving employment issues, contract claims, professional liability issues, general liability claims and civil rights claims. He periodically lectures to attorneys and human resources professionals on various topics concerning employment law, general commercial liability, risk management and ethics.

He and partners Miles Buckingham, Nancy Miller and Ron Nemirow opened their own firm, Nemirow Perez P.C., in April 2014 to continue our work counseling, representing, and defending businesses, professionals, and individuals in employment, litigation, bankruptcy, real estate, and other matters.
